Welcome to Drop the firewall. This blog is a technical notebook. A place to write about networking, security, GNU/Linux, cloud computing, and related technologies. Sometimes as practical notes, other times as more conceptual reflections. There is no promise of regular posting or a rigid editorial line: there is curiosity, technical judgment, and a desire to understand how things actually work. `` The name is not meant literally. This is not about turning off firewalls or promoting magical solutions.
